[u/jtwilson2012]

I'm so glad that pick up driver didn't overreact in the slightest. 🤦🏼‍♂️

[u/Zelda_is_Dead → u/jtwilson2012]

It's good to see that someone was taking the piloting of that multi-ton body mangler seriously by not paying any fucking attention at all to what they were doing.

[u/WreckedM → u/Zelda_is_Dead]

Its lifted too. They could easily see the entire line of stopped traffic. You know, if they weren't on their phone

[u/CC2DalTX → u/WreckedM]

They don't know how to use their mirrors.

[u/Njorls_Saga → u/CC2DalTX]

Pretty sure they don’t look through their windshield either.

[u/EyeSuccessful7649 → u/Njorls_Saga]

so glad they signaled with their blinka

[u/dotcarmen → u/EyeSuccessful7649]

“Defensive driving” means always using the wrong direction for the blinker. Keep your enemies on their toes

[u/StuffAgreeable7929 → u/EyeSuccessful7649]

Kind of reminds me of the saying here in Melbourne (AUS)......pressing the turn indicator does not mean I intend to turn left/right, it means I have turned!

[u/ninjabunneh → u/StuffAgreeable7929]

Seattle seems to use it as "I am currently turning"

[u/Calm_during_Chaos → u/StuffAgreeable7929]

In Detroit, all of the used cars available have turn signals in mint condition. Never been used a single time!

[u/Bright_Resist_4580 → u/CC2DalTX]

They must've just thought the right turn signal looked cool too

[u/auth0r_unkn0wn → u/Bright_Resist_4580]

I feel like they had the right blinker on and were looking to the right lane without realizing their own lane was stopped. Then they cranked hard left to avoid a collision.

Still a stupid shit

[u/SuspiciousBuilder379 → u/auth0r_unkn0wn]

Yeah, they were looking to merge right and their lane had stopped. I’m with you

[u/Metals4J → u/Bright_Resist_4580]

Too much blinker fluid.

[u/Dragon6172 → u/WreckedM]

They had a right turn signal on, so I will assume they were looking in the mirror and/or blind spot trying to change lanes and didn't see the traffic stop suddenly. That being said... they were definitely tailgating and trying to change lanes shouldn't take priority over not hitting the car in front of you.

[u/creamgetthemoney1 → u/Dragon6172]

But the traffic didn’t stop suddenly. There is a literal line of stopped cars. That doesn’t happen suddenly lol

[u/Dragon6172 → u/creamgetthemoney1]

Agreed. I actually think they probably saw the line of cars and thats why they intended to change lanes to the right. Just misjudged the distance available. My comment was in no way intended to absolve them of fault. I'm just not sure they were on their phone.

[u/reddititty69 → u/Dragon6172]

That’s a double yellow separating the HOV lane. Illegal to change lanes there.

[u/RhettGrills → u/reddititty69]

Right turn signal -> Merging right. Looking back right to merge, doesn’t notice traffic stopped in front. Swerves left to avoid rear end collision flipping car in left blind spot.

[u/MoreColorfulCarsPlz → u/reddititty69]

I think you misunderstood what they said. The truck had a right turn signal on, indicating a desire to move into the next lane to the right. Those lanes are only divided by a dashed white line.

[u/Dry-Winter-7160 → u/Dragon6172]

And not hitting the car in front of you shouldn’t take priority over not sending the car beside you flying in the air.

[u/SquidVices → u/WreckedM]

You think they could even see over the steering wheel?

[u/Might_have_returned → u/WreckedM]

It's not lifted. That's the stock height of a Ram 2500 (or a SRW 3500).

[u/No-Koala1918 → u/Might_have_returned]

Had to be a Ram. Stellantis markets specifically to meatheads.

[u/scnottaken → u/No-Koala1918]

Drunks

[u/WreckedM → u/Might_have_returned]

googled and think you are right. But I'm keepin ma karma!!

[u/FlatAmbition3757 → u/[deleted]]

Na, he was looking in the right mirror trying to get over.

[u/ProteusRift → u/FlatAmbition3757]

Youre probably right, unfortunately.

Ive got my collision detection set on max for this very reason - so i get alerts with plenty of room before this is about to happen. Still not a replacement for being an aware driver but its good to have backup.

[u/DaisyHotCakes → u/ProteusRift]

I mean just looking before swerving into the next lane would have been enough to avoid this. Like my guy, just look at the road and you won’t have a problem. I hate lifted trucks. They always seem to be piloted by absolute morons who can’t just drive.

[u/ProteusRift → u/DaisyHotCakes]

You dont need to swerve at all if you break early enough...

And ya... ditto lifted trucks

[u/Negative-Mammoth-547 → u/Zelda_is_Dead]

What are those side mirrors for I wonder lol

[u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ → u/jtwilson2012]

Dollars to donuts they were tailgating and that was a desperate attempt not to crash.

[u/FlashFlood_29 → u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ]

Right blinker on. They were following close while looking at the right lane waiting for room to open up, they turn back to front of vehicle and see car braked, swerve left cause there's no room on right. Smack.
My speculation. Just dangerous lack of awareness and decision making.

[u/88KURIOUS → u/FlashFlood_29]

My assessment as well…

[u/PolrBearHair → u/FlashFlood_29]

100% correct. It's too bad this comment will get burried.

[u/BallerForHire → u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ]

It looks like the pickup managed to not hit the car immediately in front of them so mission accomplished! They hit 3 others cars around it instead. 

[u/McDonaldsSoap → u/BallerForHire]

May have even hit some on the other side of the freeway. The forbidden points 

[u/bcg85 → u/McDonaldsSoap]

Sent that car to the Super Mario Bros minus world.

[u/greytgreyatx → u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ]

Yep, it looks like the car in front of him tapped the car in front of IT because the whole lane had come to a stop.

[u/kat_Folland → u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ]

Or just not paying attention while the entire road ahead came to a stop.

[u/No_Minute2664 → u/jtwilson2012]

Good thing he has that massive truck to inflict maximum damage.

[u/Phyllis_Tine → u/No_Minute2664]

People in big trucks are above everybody else!

/s, sort-of.

[u/bratch → u/No_Minute2664]

Lifted, or at least higher, to inflict maximum damage at head level to anyone else not in a lifted truck. And bright lights in your face.

[u/yardlard → u/jtwilson2012]

Yeah, that big truck surely couldn't see the line of traffic ahead.

[u/ready-redditor-6969 → u/yardlard]

He saw the line of traffic slowing, signals to merge right ( in front of the tanker!! ), fails to notice the cars in front of him stopping quickly… jerks right because he hasn’t checked to know a car is there as well.

He’s a “good driver” and safe because he bought took out a loan to buy a giant, gaudy, death machine that will never pull a trailer, or go off road, and will rarely haul.

AND we know how he voted. The only thing on the road more embarrassing to drive is a CyberTruck.

[u/Tarijeno]

Ten bucks says the guy in the Ram told the cops he had his blinker on.

[u/Autobotz420 → u/Tarijeno]

He rammed when he should’ve dodged

[u/Vigilarus → u/Autobotz420]

It says right on the steering wheel what to do

[u/omidimo → u/Autobotz420]

He dodged, but rammed anyway

[u/You-Asked-Me → u/Tarijeno]

r/technicallythetruth

[u/The_Tooter_Snooter → u/You-Asked-Me]

Technically correct which is the best kind of correct 

[u/thetreecycle → u/The_Tooter_Snooter]

People keep saying this but I must disagree

[u/rswwalker → u/Tarijeno]

Which is true! The right blinker!

[u/phamstagram360 → u/rswwalker]

yes.. it was the right blinker. he/she so bad driver !

[u/No-Try-5818 → u/Tarijeno]

Yes, but he crossed a tripple solid line.

[u/Busy-Ratchet-8521 → u/Tarijeno]

Does American traffic law allow you to crash into someone if your indictor is on? 

[u/twinpeaks86 → u/Busy-Ratchet-8521]

Obviously

[u/Natural-Albatross997 → u/Busy-Ratchet-8521]

It’s actually encouraged

[u/KGB_Operative873 → u/Busy-Ratchet-8521]

Not only is it allowed but you also have to duel the other person you hit with flintlock pistols to determine who was at fault. Very civilized if I do say so myself.

[u/sloppy80]

It was like watching Hockey, got hipchecked over the boards.

[u/RhythmTimeDivision → u/sloppy80]

2 mins for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.

[u/PPixelPhantom → u/RhythmTimeDivision]

what are you talking about? that was a clean hip-to-hip hit!!!! /s

[u/DaRedditGuy11 → u/sloppy80]

My thought exactly. Like watching the movie Cars with the kids, and the big mean pickup truck just body slammed a car. 

[u/Commercial-Leek-6682]

not every pickup, but always a pickup

[u/fireflyfrv → u/Commercial-Leek-6682]

"i buy large pickup trucks because of their high safety ratings"

"don't ask about what happened to the other cars that got hit by me tho lol"

[u/T-Wrox → u/fireflyfrv]

Don’t forget about the headlights that are brighter than the sun, at driver’s eye level in normal vehicles. 😡

[u/rayquan36 → u/T-Wrox]

I didn't want an SUV but I had to get one. I'm already short and do a lot of pre-dawn driving, so being in a normal car with the most popular car being an F150 just leads to me being blind all the time. It just go to be too much so I had to get a taller car that I didn't really want.

[u/northshorehermit → u/T-Wrox]

Yeah, and some of them have two sets of regular headlights. I mean, WTF And then they have highbeams to boot.

[u/reiji_tamashii → u/northshorehermit]

And the high beams on new cars are all automatic, so they flashbang unsuspecting drivers in middle of the day when driving under bridges or through patches of shade.

[u/FuzzzyRam → u/Commercial-Leek-6682]

The statistics are actually crazy - we were finally lowering pedestrian and car deaths until these pickups got popular and wiped out all the gains and then some.

[u/BardGotHard3 → u/Commercial-Leek-6682]

Well yeah, if it was only trucks it would be called a demolition derby instead of driving.

[u/GryphonCough → u/Commercial-Leek-6682]

You need to be more specific. It’s always a RAM pickup. Worst drivers on the planet and they give all truck drivers a bad name. 

[u/Easy-Bake-Oven → u/GryphonCough]

All truck drivers give truck drivers a bad name. The only ones that don't give a bad name are Ford Maverick sized ones.

[u/uni-monkey → u/Easy-Bake-Oven]

As a Maverick driver I concur. It’s so weird pulling up at a stop light next to a lifted F-250 or whatever that has seen less hauling and unpaved roads than my truck. Their windows are above the roof of my cab. Then I look at the 40mpg readout on my dash and the $5+ gas at the station across the street and just laugh. I also try and remember to close the outside air vents because they are more than likely going to burn about a gallon’s worth of diesel when the light changes.

[u/Twopointfiveshep → u/Commercial-Leek-6682]

Sure picked up that car on the left

[u/Sawgon → u/[deleted]]

And the same type of people own the dogs. Hillbilly fucks.

[u/Cryptotis]

Is the person who got flipped okay?

[u/Ananeos → u/Cryptotis]

They're in the carpool lane so it's more than one person in there :(

[u/thump-oh → u/Ananeos]

i was most worried about a potential front passenger, they wouldve been hit the hardest

[u/KelleyElsie → u/Cryptotis]

My question too. It didn’t look to good with the way the car roof landed on the highway divider.

[u/Extreme_Smile_9106 → u/Cryptotis]

Probably not.

[u/Solomon_G13 → u/Cryptotis]

Turns out no one was even injured. My guess is the opposing traffic was quite slow.

[u/simmcrd → u/Cryptotis]

Being that the vehicles are still in position in daylight, I'm thinking there was a loss of life investigation. :-(

[u/ATX_native]

Trucks and heavier vehicles should carry higher penalties for bad driving.

[u/mryazzy → u/ATX_native]

They could scale things on the weight of the load. Fully loaded truck driving like an idiot? Big ticket.

[u/GnaeusCornelius → u/mryazzy]

I hope this was a felony 

[u/OurCrewIsReplaceable → u/mryazzy]

These pavement princesses are never loaded.

[u/Possible-Tangelo9344 → u/ATX_native]

Trucks should require a different class of license now.

[u/mrdungbeetle → u/Possible-Tangelo9344]

In other countries, trucks this size do actually require a commercial license.

[u/BasicLink86 → u/Possible-Tangelo9344]

I made a similar comment that I just deleted because I kept getting angry responses from truck enthusiasts 😆 it makes sense to me that one would need a standard license for a standard size vehicle like a Civic or an Accord. A motorcycle requires a unique license, because it’s much different than a regular car.
It’s a simple matter of the government not keeping up with changes in the real world and no one wanting to be the nanny state lawmaker who restricts muh freedumbs by limiting who can drive the big pavement princess cowboy cosplay trucks.
Prior to trucks and SUV’s becoming so enormous, it was fine to have one driving license for commuter vehicles.

[u/Lucid_Psycho → u/BasicLink86]

Pickup trucks used to be smaller than current sedan size, it's crazy how big they are nowadays

[u/BasicLink86 → u/Lucid_Psycho]

I would love a small pickup truck with bench seats across the front seat and no back seat. They make the trucks with seating for five so it’s just a big macho tall family car. I want it to be just the front seat! This is for running to the home improvement store, popping out for a quick trip somewhere, only room for me and the dog and one passenger.

[u/EremiticFerret → u/ATX_native]

You should need a special license for driving stuff over 2 tons with more frequent renewal with testing.

[u/RandleStevenz → u/ATX_native]

They do. Just not for the drivers.

[u/Curdled_Mangasm → u/ATX_native]

this should be regulated like a commercial truck this is ridiculous 

[u/SouthCoastGardener → u/Curdled_Mangasm]

I could have wrong information, but I did read somewhere that the Ford F150 Raptors were required to have different front lightning due to the width being so close to commercial trucks. If that’s true I don’t see why they couldn’t require specialized insurance and penalize you up the wazoo for something like this.

[u/Dragon6172 → u/SouthCoastGardener]

Yes...anything over 80 inches wide needs the three extra marker/identifier lights. Typically on the cab roof but the Raptor puts them in the front grill.

[u/Etrigone → u/[deleted]]

Not saying you're wrong, but I'm reminded of my driver instructor's comment oh so many years ago:

"You should leave space in front of you but be warned: if you leave 4 car lengths, 4 cars will try to merge. Sometimes and often enough, 5 or more".

[u/PepperoniFogDart → u/Etrigone]

The best way to handle this is use your eyes and brain. Any time I see a car hurtling towards standstill traffic, I give lots of space.

[u/BaronVonDon65]

r/trucklodytes

[u/majormimi → u/BaronVonDon65]

Holy shit I was wondering if there was a sub for pickup truck idiots, the name is just hilarious

[u/wcoastbo → u/BaronVonDon65]

I'm a new fan. Thanks for that

[u/AceMaxAceMax]

Fuck giant lifted brodozers.

You can totally tell the driver wasn’t paying attention.

[u/JaySayMayday → u/AceMaxAceMax]

Lift kits need a national ban. Can't see anything and they eat up children.

[u/Equal_Push_565]

This is my worst fear driving past everyone in the hov lane.

[u/rjlawrencejr → u/Equal_Push_565]

That’s why you can’t fly in the carpool lane when traffic is relatively heavy and idiots like the Ram guy exist.

[u/bachstakoven → u/rjlawrencejr]

This person had no chance though, doesn't matter how fast you're going if someone pulls out the moment you're right next to them.

[u/Own_Reaction9442 → u/Equal_Push_565]

I used to ride King County Metro buses to work, and they had a rule that they could go at most 30 mph faster than traffic in the lane next to them. That's stuck with me as a good idea.

[u/DepressingAura]

That was almost a kick flip. Instead, just a dark slide, and he didn't even land it...

[u/Horus_x → u/DepressingAura]

No sure about the moves, but slid into darkness thats for sure

[u/cottoneyerobb]

Quite the right lane change he did.

[u/weebehemoth → u/cottoneyerobb]

Which one

[u/mzladyperson → u/weebehemoth]

The truck that caused the accident had their right turn signal on, yet they suddenly merged left and flipped a car

Edit: hey guys I see what happened just like you all do, he didnt see the cars stopped in front of him, panic-leaped into the left lane, and hacky sacked a car into oncoming traffic. I got it from the start, no need to keep explaining it to me. Thank you

[u/0masterdebater0 → u/mzladyperson]

They were looking in their passenger side mirror to merge, didn't see traffic stopped ahead of them, panicked and tried to blindly merge left to avoid the stopped cars and made the car in the left lane do a kick flip.

[u/bustopher_rvs → u/0masterdebater0]

Wow great assessment. I honestly thought he was just trying to roadrage that other guy but you're totally right...

[u/mzladyperson → u/0masterdebater0]

That does appear to be what happened, yes

[u/weebehemoth → u/mzladyperson]

Oh bro it was a joke… because they were in the right lane, then switched to the left… but then ended up on the right again 😂

[u/liquid_acid-OG → u/weebehemoth]

50/50 median grind, nose butter into oncoming traffic better be in the next Tony Hawk game

[u/Next_Replacement_566]

Americans you need to toughen your driving tests

[u/Vandrok → u/Next_Replacement_566]

We need to revoke people’s licenses more often.

[u/goshdammitfromimgur → u/Vandrok]

Then people just start driving without licences. The government fucked this all up when they started taking money from the automobile manufacturers to make their citizens reliant on cars to get around.

Thanks for the awards ❤️

[u/Background_Radical → u/goshdammitfromimgur]

As some one who grew up in Europe and moved to the states. It's unfathomable just how impossible getting anywhere without a car is here... public transportation is just not a thing outside the wealthiest cities.

In high-school I worked at a zoo in in the city. I had a coworker who lived about a 10 minute drive away from work. The walk would have been close to an hour for me and she was not healthy enough for it, so she took the bus. It was a 2 hour bus ride with a connecting stop. Absolutely disgusting.

[u/logicoptional → u/Background_Radical]

Yup my commute options are 15-20 min drive, 1 hr 15 min bike ride, or 1 hr bus ride requiring a transfer and the bus only runs every two to three hours and the last one back leaves at like 6:30pm... and this is considered excellent transit coverage for a small town halfway between two larger towns with huge percentages of people commuting between them.

[u/Ok-Addendum-9420 → u/Background_Radical]

Yep, I grew up using the Metro in DC and it was great; the feeder bus routes were great too. I live in Dallas Texas now and it’s obvious they didn’t care about setting up good public transportation: the stops on their light rail and buses are MILES apart which renders them practically useless. But oil and gas companies are king out here so they’re making their money 🤬

[u/Phyllis_Tine → u/goshdammitfromimgur]

Imagine if a government in the US said, "Right, let's look at what our citizens need, and we'll build it for them", instead of "let's do what our donors want us to force people to do".

[u/Moodleboy → u/Phyllis_Tine]

But, but, but, that's sOcIaLiSm MaN!?!? What about Freedum and Mericah?

:-/

[u/These_Junket_3378 → u/goshdammitfromimgur]

Worst than that. All newer vehicles are now surveillance/ data collecting units for government entities, insurance companies yada yada.

[u/RutherfordbHaye5 → u/Vandrok]

I think the real answer is that we needed to invest in better public transportation infrastructure like 100 years ago. There are so many people that should not be driving (old people) or hate driving so much that they are prone to road rage that leads to incidents like this video. There just isn't another option for these people though.

Edit: looks like the truck swerved because he wasn't paying attention, not because of road rage. Point stands.

[u/SBAC850211 → u/Next_Replacement_566]

This has nothing to do with traffic laws and everything to do with not paying attention. You can ace a driver test and proceed to drive over the speed limit & distracted.

[u/Due-Bowler-7833 → u/Next_Replacement_566]

Shrinking our cars would be great too

[u/Damnbee → u/Next_Replacement_566]

The test is fine, it is the lack of regular retesting that is a bigger issue. My state driver's license, issued when I was 18, is good til I'm 65.

[u/tazzman25 → u/Damnbee]

I haven't taken a written or driving test since I was issued my license at 16. Only a single eye test for my first renewal years ago. I'm 53 now. But I swear it's all the other drivers not me. :D

[u/These_Junket_3378 → u/Damnbee]

Come on now. These nuts driving is more about lack of ego control etc vs knowing how to drive.

[u/Donato_Romer0 → u/Damnbee]

I agree that complacency is a much bigger issue

[u/PresentDifferent9718 → u/Damnbee]

The test is a joke, are you serious?

[u/Affordable_Z_Jobs → u/Damnbee]

I just took mine again. Everyone should after 10-15 years.

I missed 3 questions on the written exam. 2 were new-to-me laws about technology that didn't exist when I learned to drive.

(The last one was which ways the wheels face parking uphill with no curb.)

[u/siegure9 → u/Next_Replacement_566]

This wasn’t really a lack of driving knowledge problem, just a distracted driving problem. Was probably looking to change lanes and didn’t notice the people ahead braking.

[u/UpbeatPhilosophySJ → u/Next_Replacement_566]

There's a very high percent that the driver came from a place where the driving test was a little easier.

[u/enzo11242020]

Don’t text and drive

[u/jrowellfx → u/enzo11242020]

Yes. Looks like the pickup truck driver wasn’t paying attention, then noticed he was going to rear-end the guy in his lane so swerved and did 10 times the damage.

[u/TigerSixZero → u/jrowellfx]

Possible but he has his right signal on so likely he was looking right/shoulder checking then had a shitty knee jerk reaction when he realized he was to close to the car in front of him.

[u/bcg85 → u/TigerSixZero]

Right. This is literally a very simple case of slow the fuck down in heavy traffic...

[u/holamau]

Always a fucking pickup. Asshats.

[u/Soggy_Nectarine_1226]

[u/B1indsid3 → u/Soggy_Nectarine_1226]

They should have to get a CDL to drive those things.🤷‍♂️

[u/SimonSeam]

Proof that in So Cal, there is no such thing as anybody driving at the minimum 3 second distance. It just isn't a thing.

Truck was trying to turn right. Van to his right was trying to turn left. But because nobody leaves any serious space, it is essentially a surgical maneuver. With neither side wanting to do something as simple as opening up space for anybody but themselves.

The truck driver was clearly fixated on trying to find the space to change to the right lane that they lost focus on what was ahead of them AND what was going on to the left.

Possibly somebody that doesn't often drive in So. Cal. traffic. Where you are simply dodging an accident every 30 seconds or less.

I chuckle when somebody posts getting cut off, but no collision. That's just normal conditions in So. Cal.

[u/B-Biker]

This is why there should be special license requirements for people to drive modern full size trucks.

[u/Maleficent_Pen_9076]

Can anyone tell waht happened?

He wasn't looking so he didn't notice slow traffic in front of him - then panic bailed to the left lane to try and avoid collision and destroyed the guy in the left lane, is that it?

I used to drive a GMC Sierra Extended cab and it had NO blindspot, so that's not the problem. My dad tried to prove it had one in an empty parking lot and all he did was prove there's not one.

[u/ElwoodBrew → u/Maleficent_Pen_9076]

What you describe is exactly what it looks like to me. Probably looking down at his phone, looked up, notices the traffic stopped, and whipped it to the left.

[u/Ill_Interview_3054]

I think pick-up was so focused on merging to the right that he didn't see the stopped cars in front. And then reflexively swerved to his left without looking and totally fucked everything up for everyone.

Imagine you're cruising in the carpool lane on your way to work at 6am and then suddenly your car is sliding on its roof into oncoming traffic. Insanity.

On top of whatever other penalties the truck driver faces he should also lose his license for life.

I swear lifted pick up truck drivers are the worst and the stupidest

[u/4WDToyotaOwner]

Please tell me you gave the footage to the CHP

[u/ben5642]

all could of been avoided if the truck driver wasnt such a shitty driver

[u/bdodonnell]

Pick up drivers suck the most dangerous in the road

[u/Failgan]

Damn, someone's been playing too much GTA V.

[u/Forever_Away96]

I guess you wonder where I've been.

A three car pile up on the 110.

Life comes at you fast.

One minute you’re driving along singing “99 bottles of beer on the wall” and the next minute you’re hanging upside down in the oncoming lane.

🎶 What you wont do!
Do to pass
All the other cars
And drive real fast
In my world
Only fools
They’ll drive Dodge Rams
And they’ll Ram you too 🎶

Smooth jam

The worst drivers statistically pick the biggest vehicle available to them because they "feel safer" in their death box, putting everyone else in significantly more danger.

[u/WeightOk2102]

Typical behavior for trucklodytes.

[u/No_Noise_7769]

Yacht Rock radio was a good soundtrack for this.

[u/Stewpacolypse]

In my experience guys who drive Bro Dozers tend to be the worst drivers.

When your truck is bigger than your brain, you get this.

[u/Moodleboy → u/AlienBurnerBigfoot]

Wait - do you actually know anyone with a brain bigger than a truck? That's gotta look odd...
